A Note on Cookies

Plenty of websites need pages of cookie tables. Ours needs one row, because almost nothing is stored when you read Emirelo Gambling Blog.

What a cookie is

Cookies are tiny text files a site hands to your browser for safekeeping. They are how many websites keep you signed in, hold a basket between visits, count readers or trail people from page to page for advertising. Local storage does a similar job: a page leaves a small note inside your browser and reads it back later.

What this site stores

There are no tracking, advertising or statistics cookies on Emirelo Gambling Blog, and nothing here asks you to log in, fill a basket or be counted. None are planned; should that change, this note and the card would be updated beforehand, giving you the choice before anything extra is saved.

Only one value is kept: the button you pressed on the cookie card. Pressing either button writes that single answer into local storage, which is what keeps the card from popping up again on each article. The note lives on your device alone and is not passed to us or to any third party.

What	Where it lives	Purpose	How long
Cookie-card answer	Local storage in your browser	Keeps the card hidden once you have replied	Until you wipe this site's data

Changing your mind

To see the card again, delete this site's saved data from your browser's privacy settings. On your next page view it will reappear and you can choose differently. Neither answer changes anything else about how the site behaves, since there is nothing further to turn on or off. Turning off local storage in your browser altogether works too; the card will then show up on each visit, but the articles read exactly the same.

Other websites

A number of older articles point to other websites. Once you follow such a link you are on a site we do not run, and its own cookie rules apply. It is worth checking them, especially on any site where money changes hands.
